14 DAY TRIAL // Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp dated between 1989 and 1993 but she never lost hope that they might get back together again, at least professionally if not personally, according to insiders. However, now that he proposed to his much younger girlfriend Amber Heard, Winona won’t even hear the name of Johnny anymore.
Insiders close to the actress tell Radar Online that she’s “seeing red” at the way Depp handled his personal matters, by ending his longtime relationship with the mother of his children Vanessa Paradis, to be with a woman who is half his age.
She is also furious that, though he never committed to Vanessa, Depp would rush to get engaged to Amber, whom he only met months before, while working on “The Rum Diary” together.
“[Winona] had a respectful relationship with Johnny for years afterward, but she soured on any idea of an acting reunion after Johnny hooked up with Amber. The way he conducted that affair really upset Winona and turned her off to Johnny,” a spy says for the celebrity e-zine.
“The thing she especially can’t stand is how all of Johnny’s middle-aged friends, even Tim Burton, are cheering this relationship on like it’s appropriate, when Winona is telling her own friends that it’s absolutely not,” adds the spy.
“She’s pulled a 180 on her opinion of Johnny and his cronies because she thinks it’s a sad cliché that he’d dump his long-term baby mama for a woman in her twenties,” the insider concludes.
And Johnny Depp isn’t losing just friends, if one is to believe everything one reads online. His popularity with fans has also taken a hit since the engagement was confirmed.
Moreover, should his marriage end in divorce, he will also lose half of his impressive estate because, as per insiders, he refuses to have a prenup drawn up because he thinks Amber might take it the wrong way – so he won’t even ask it of her.
